Manual of Style | Rules | Request for Rights |
The Manual of Style is a set of guidelines when editing on the Hidden Side Wiki. You must be sure to follow these, or your edit might get undone and you face a chance for a warning.
Templates
Each article should have templates depending on what you're talking about. For a full list of templates, check out this page.
User Templates
These templates may only be added to your own user page. Please don't add them randomly to someone else's. List of user templates here.
Staff Templates
Some templates are only for staff to use, please do not add to your user page.
Notices
Use {{Notices}} to add notices to pages such as Stub, Images Needed, Placeholder title, Upcoming content, etc. by doing {{Notices|in}}, {{Notcies|Stub}}, etc.
Section Stub
If only a small section of the page is unfinished, use {{SectionStub}} under the subtitle. Please do not use "Under Construction" under the section.
Leaked Information
Make sure that the source is reliable. You MUST add references and citations to upcoming content to prove it exists. Some reliable sources are:
Images
Image Galleries
When making galleries for pages you must use the <gallery> tag. We do not accept thumbnail files especially if they are on the right side. If you remove an image from elsewhere on the page, add it to the gallery. If the main image on the infobox is blurry or is bad quality, add that image to the gallery and replace the main image.
Image Quality
When uploading screenshots, it's preferred to use the full screen. However, if the character or whatever only takes up a small part of the full image, then you should crop it to focus on them. If you find an image with bad quality, please upload a better version of it instead of uploading a new image.
User Images
User images should be named "User-{Your username}-1", and so on. You may also place images that are elsewhere in the wiki like the mainspace or on other's user pages. Any irrelevant images without this name (excluding logos and icons uploaded by staff) will be deleted. Do not upload a duplicate image.
